The next generation of Large Language Models (LLM) can take input in any modality and generate content in any modality. According to NExT, a collaboration between the National University of Singapore and Tsinghua University focused on data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The currently popular generative AI tools can produce results in response to one type of input, such as text, audio, video, etc.., at a time.

American tech giant Microsoft has recently announced a historic deal between the company and the Australian government. Microsoft is reportedly investing AUD 5 billion to boost the country\u2019s computer industry and help it stake a claim in the current artificial intelligence boom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a press release<\/a> on the company\u2019s website, the deal will be fulfilled over the next two years. Among its many sub-goals, the company will create a Microsoft Data Center Academy and Microsoft-Australian Signals Directorate Cyber Shield (MACS) in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reports About Altman Return<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the aftermath of sudden and significant changes at OpenAI, one of the industry leaders in generative AI. Sam Altman was fired from his previous role as CEO by the company\u2019s board on 17 November 2023. The board stated that Altman\u00a0\"was not consistently candid in his communications''<\/em>\u00a0as an explanation for this unexpected decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it is also reported that this decision has proven unpopular with many of the staff and investors of OpenAI. The Verge reported<\/a> that the board had meetings to return Altman to his post on the same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahead of his new role at Microsoft, Altman\u00a0posted on X saying<\/a>,\u00a0\"Satya and my top priority remains to ensure OpenAI continues to thrive\u201d.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Ex-CEO Of OpenAI Sam Altman Joins Microsoft After Being Fired From The Company He Founded","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ex-ceo-of-openai-sam-altman-joins-microsoft-after-being-fired-from-the-company-he-founded","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-11-23 00:10:57","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-22 13:10:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=14442","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":14316,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-11-16 04:10:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-11-15 17:10:26","post_content":"\n

Elon Musk, the founder of X and Tesla, has recently unveiled a generative AI chatbot called \u201cGrok\u201d. This latest development comes following the massive success of OpenAI\u2019s chatbot ChatGPT, a company that Musk himself co-founded. This AI was developed by xAI, a startup founded by Musk in March 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to xAI<\/a>, Grok has a few characteristics that separate it from its competitors. The company states on its website that\u00a0\u201cGrok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don\u2019t use it if you hate humor!\u201d<\/em>. Musk himself claimed on X (formerly called Twitter), that the AI is\u00a0\u201cbased and loves sarcasm\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elon Musk, the founder of X and Tesla, has recently unveiled a generative AI chatbot called \u201cGrok\u201d. This latest development comes following the massive success of OpenAI\u2019s chatbot ChatGPT, a company that Musk himself co-founded. This AI was developed by xAI, a startup founded by Musk in March 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to xAI<\/a>, Grok has a few characteristics that separate it from its competitors. The company states on its website that\u00a0\u201cGrok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don\u2019t use it if you hate humor!\u201d<\/em>.

Elon Musk, the founder of X and Tesla, has recently unveiled a generative AI chatbot called \u201cGrok\u201d. This latest development comes following the massive success of OpenAI\u2019s chatbot ChatGPT, a company that Musk himself co-founded. This AI was developed by xAI, a startup founded by Musk in March 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to xAI<\/a>, Grok has a few characteristics that separate it from its competitors. The company states on its website that\u00a0\u201cGrok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don\u2019t use it if you hate humor!\u201d<\/em>.

The currently popular generative AI tools can produce results in response to one type of input, such as text, audio, video, etc.., at a time.

The next generation of Large Language Models (LLM) can take input in any modality and generate content in any modality. According to NExT, a collaboration between the National University of Singapore and Tsinghua University focused on data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The currently popular generative AI tools can produce results in response to one type of input, such as text, audio, video, etc.., at a time.

\u201cBy leveraging the existing well-trained highly-performing encoders and decoders, NExT-GPT is tuned with only a small amount of parameter (1%) of certain projection layers, which not only benefits low-cost training and also facilitates convenient expansion to more potential modalities.\u201d<\/em>, the blog states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The currently popular generative AI tools can produce results in response to one type of input, such as text, audio, video, etc.., at a time. However, the researchers at NExT are looking to make an AI tool capable of understanding universal modalities, which will enhance human-computer interactions and make them more natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NExT-GPT is not fully operational yet.

Elon Musk, the founder of X and Tesla, has recently unveiled a generative AI chatbot called \u201cGrok\u201d. This latest development comes following the massive success of OpenAI\u2019s chatbot ChatGPT, a company that Musk himself co-founded. This AI was developed by xAI, a startup founded by Musk in March 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to xAI<\/a>, Grok has a few characteristics that separate it from its competitors. The company states on its website that\u00a0\u201cGrok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don\u2019t use it if you hate humor!\u201d<\/em>. Musk himself claimed on X (formerly called Twitter), that the AI is\u00a0\u201cbased and loves sarcasm\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advantage Of Grok<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An advantage Grok will have over other chatbots is its real-time access to X. This will allow it to learn from huge amounts of data without potentially violating copyright laws. The AI is powered by Grok-1, a large language model (LLM) developed by xAI this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want Grok to serve as a powerful research assistant for anyone, helping them to quickly access relevant information, process data, and come up with new ideas.\u201d<\/em>, the company stated regarding the purpose behind this chatbot.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This latest development comes following the massive success of OpenAI\u2019s chatbot ChatGPT, a company that Musk himself co-founded. This AI was developed by xAI, a startup founded by Musk in March 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to xAI<\/a>, Grok has a few characteristics that separate it from its competitors. The company states on its website that\u00a0\u201cGrok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don\u2019t use it if you hate humor!\u201d<\/em>. Musk himself claimed on X (formerly called Twitter), that the AI is\u00a0\u201cbased and loves sarcasm\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new tool is designed to help with automation and can be implemented in several industries. It aims to reduce simulation time and boost productivity and efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the prospects of their new <\/a>AI, Siemens CEO Roland Busch said<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cThis has the potential to revolutionize the way companies design, develop, manufacture, and operate.

The next generation of Large Language Models (LLM) can take input in any modality and generate content in any modality. According to NExT, a collaboration between the National University of Singapore and Tsinghua University focused on data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog post uploaded by the initiative<\/a>, researchers of the project claim that this new model of LLM will be able to <\/em><\/strong>\u201cperceive inputs and generate outputs in arbitrary combinations of text, images, videos, and audio\u201d<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy leveraging the existing well-trained highly-performing encoders and decoders, NExT-GPT is tuned with only a small amount of parameter (1%) of certain projection layers, which not only benefits low-cost training and also facilitates convenient expansion to more potential modalities.\u201d<\/em>, the blog states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The currently popular generative AI tools can produce results in response to one type of input, such as text, audio, video, etc.., at a time. However, the researchers at NExT are looking to make an AI tool capable of understanding universal modalities, which will enhance human-computer interactions and make them more natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta Smart Glasses Accessibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The program is only accessible to Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses owners in the US. Users can participate in the program by enrolling via the Meta View app on iOS and Android. As part of the program, users can directly talk to the AI implemented in their glasses and the AI can process the information captured by the built-in camera. <\/em><\/strong>Users can also \u201cask Meta for help writing a caption for a photo taken during a hike or to describe an object\u201d, the company stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Meta warned their users that the features may not always work optimally or consistently as the company continues to fine-tune the software. Speaking on the issue, the blog post claims, \u201cWe\u2019re continuing to learn what works best and improving the experience for everyone. Your feedback will help make Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses better and smarter over time\u201d.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

American tech corporation Microsoft and German conglomerate Siemens AG have recently developed a generative AI tool for industrial automation designated \u201cSiemens Industrial Copilot\u201d. This is the latest innovation from the collaboration between the two companies that started earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Microsoft<\/a>, this AI-powered assistant is \u201caimed at improving human-machine collaboration in manufacturing\u201d. Both companies hope this will pave the way for the widespread adoption of generative AI across various industries.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re building on our longstanding collaboration with Siemens and bringing together AI advances across the Microsoft Cloud with Siemens\u2019 industrial domain expertise to empower both frontline and knowledge workers with new, AI-powered tools, starting with Siemens Industrial Copilot,\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>said Microsoft CEO and chairman Satya Nadella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new tool is designed to help with automation and can be implemented in several industries. It aims to reduce simulation time and boost productivity and efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the prospects of their new <\/a>AI, Siemens CEO Roland Busch said<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cThis has the potential to revolutionize the way companies design, develop, manufacture, and operate. Making human-machine collaboration more widely available allows engineers to accelerate code development, increase innovation, and tackle skilled labor shortages.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schaeffler AG, an automotive manufacturer, is one of the first in the industry that has publicly adopted Siemens Industrial Copilot.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Introducing Siemens Industrial Copilot: A Generative AI-Powered Assistant Developed By Siemens AG And Microsoft","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"introducing-siemens-industrial-copilot-a-generative-ai-powered-assistant-developed-by-siemens-ag-and-microsoft","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-11-10 22:49:11","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-10 11:49:11","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=14224","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":14145,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-11-05 22:56:12","post_date_gmt":"2023-11-05 11:56:12","post_content":"\n

The next generation of Large Language Models (LLM) can take input in any modality and generate content in any modality. According to NExT, a collaboration between the National University of Singapore and Tsinghua University focused on data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog post uploaded by the initiative<\/a>, researchers of the project claim that this new model of LLM will be able to <\/em><\/strong>\u201cperceive inputs and generate outputs in arbitrary combinations of text, images, videos, and audio\u201d<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy leveraging the existing well-trained highly-performing encoders and decoders, NExT-GPT is tuned with only a small amount of parameter (1%) of certain projection layers, which not only benefits low-cost training and also facilitates convenient expansion to more potential modalities.\u201d<\/em>, the blog states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The currently popular generative AI tools can produce results in response to one type of input, such as text, audio, video, etc.., at a time. However, the researchers at NExT are looking to make an AI tool capable of understanding universal modalities, which will enhance human-computer interactions and make them more natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NExT-GPT is not fully operational yet. But there are demos of its capabilities up on GitHub. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Pushing The Limits Of AI With NExT GPT: An Any-Any Multimodal Large Language Model","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"pushing-the-limits-of-ai-with-next-gpt-an-any-any-multimodal-large-language-model","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-11-05 22:57:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-05 11:57:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=14145","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":14030,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-10-29 23:29:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-10-29 12:29:55","post_content":"\n

American tech giant Microsoft has recently announced a historic deal between the company and the Australian government. Microsoft is reportedly investing AUD 5 billion to boost the country\u2019s computer industry and help it stake a claim in the current artificial intelligence boom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a press release<\/a> on the company\u2019s website, the deal will be fulfilled over the next two years. Among its many sub-goals, the company will create a Microsoft Data Center Academy and Microsoft-Australian Signals Directorate Cyber Shield (MACS) in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is our largest investment in Microsoft\u2019s 40-year history in Australia and a testament to our commitment to the country\u2019s growth and prosperity in the AI era.\u201d<\/em>, said Brad Smith, President and Vice Chairman of Microsoft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deal also puts special emphasis on cybersecurity as Australia prepares to protect its citizens from the increasing risk of cyberattacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the impact of this investment on the country\u2019s economy, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had this to say - <\/em><\/strong>\u201cThis is a major investment in the skills and workers of the future, which will help Australia to strengthen our position as a world-leading economy.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next generation of Large Language Models (LLM) can take input in any modality and generate content in any modality. According to NExT, a collaboration between the National University of Singapore and Tsinghua University focused on data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The currently popular generative AI tools can produce results in response to one type of input, such as text, audio, video, etc.., at a time.

Google has recently unveiled its latest and most ambitious AI endeavor yet. Designated as \u201cGemini\u201d, it is \u201cthe most capable and general model\u201d built by the company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Demis Hassabis<\/a>, CEO and Co-Founder of Google DeepMind, \u201cGemini is the result of large-scale collaborative efforts by teams across Google, including our colleagues at Google Research.\u201d. <\/em><\/strong>Google first announced the project back in May 2023 during Google I\/O. Since then, Gemini has garnered plenty of attention as a suitable competitor to OpenAI\u2019s GPT-4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Hassabis, Gemini\u00a0\u201cwas built from the ground up to be multimodal, which means it can generalize and seamlessly understand, operate across and combine different types of information including text, code, audio, image, and video.\u201d.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

American tech corporation Microsoft and German conglomerate Siemens AG have recently developed a generative AI tool for industrial automation designated \u201cSiemens Industrial Copilot\u201d. This is the latest innovation from the collaboration between the two companies that started earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Microsoft<\/a>, this AI-powered assistant is \u201caimed at improving human-machine collaboration in manufacturing\u201d. Both companies hope this will pave the way for the widespread adoption of generative AI across various industries.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re building on our longstanding collaboration with Siemens and bringing together AI advances across the Microsoft Cloud with Siemens\u2019 industrial domain expertise to empower both frontline and knowledge workers with new, AI-powered tools, starting with Siemens Industrial Copilot,\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>said Microsoft CEO and chairman Satya Nadella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new tool is designed to help with automation and can be implemented in several industries. It aims to reduce simulation time and boost productivity and efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the prospects of their new <\/a>AI, Siemens CEO Roland Busch said<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cThis has the potential to revolutionize the way companies design, develop, manufacture, and operate. Making human-machine collaboration more widely available allows engineers to accelerate code development, increase innovation, and tackle skilled labor shortages.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next generation of Large Language Models (LLM) can take input in any modality and generate content in any modality. According to NExT, a collaboration between the National University of Singapore and Tsinghua University focused on data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog post uploaded by the initiative<\/a>, researchers of the project claim that this new model of LLM will be able to <\/em><\/strong>\u201cperceive inputs and generate outputs in arbitrary combinations of text, images, videos, and audio\u201d<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy leveraging the existing well-trained highly-performing encoders and decoders, NExT-GPT is tuned with only a small amount of parameter (1%) of certain projection layers, which not only benefits low-cost training and also facilitates convenient expansion to more potential modalities.\u201d<\/em>, the blog states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The currently popular generative AI tools can produce results in response to one type of input, such as text, audio, video, etc.., at a time. However, the researchers at NExT are looking to make an AI tool capable of understanding universal modalities, which will enhance human-computer interactions and make them more natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NExT-GPT is not fully operational yet. But there are demos of its capabilities up on GitHub. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Pushing The Limits Of AI With NExT GPT: An Any-Any Multimodal Large Language Model","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"pushing-the-limits-of-ai-with-next-gpt-an-any-any-multimodal-large-language-model","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-11-05 22:57:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-05 11:57:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=14145","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":14030,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-10-29 23:29:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-10-29 12:29:55","post_content":"\n

American tech giant Microsoft has recently announced a historic deal between the company and the Australian government. Microsoft is reportedly investing AUD 5 billion to boost the country\u2019s computer industry and help it stake a claim in the current artificial intelligence boom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a press release<\/a> on the company\u2019s website, the deal will be fulfilled over the next two years. Among its many sub-goals, the company will create a Microsoft Data Center Academy and Microsoft-Australian Signals Directorate Cyber Shield (MACS) in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is our largest investment in Microsoft\u2019s 40-year history in Australia and a testament to our commitment to the country\u2019s growth and prosperity in the AI era.\u201d<\/em>, said Brad Smith, President and Vice Chairman of Microsoft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deal also puts special emphasis on cybersecurity as Australia prepares to protect its citizens from the increasing risk of cyberattacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the impact of this investment on the country\u2019s economy, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had this to say - <\/em><\/strong>\u201cThis is a major investment in the skills and workers of the future, which will help Australia to strengthen our position as a world-leading economy.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next generation of Large Language Models (LLM) can take input in any modality and generate content in any modality. According to NExT, a collaboration between the National University of Singapore and Tsinghua University focused on data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google has recently unveiled its latest and most ambitious AI endeavor yet. Designated as \u201cGemini\u201d, it is \u201cthe most capable and general model\u201d built by the company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Demis Hassabis<\/a>, CEO and Co-Founder of Google DeepMind, \u201cGemini is the result of large-scale collaborative efforts by teams across Google, including our colleagues at Google Research.\u201d. <\/em><\/strong>Google first announced the project back in May 2023 during Google I\/O. Since then, Gemini has garnered plenty of attention as a suitable competitor to OpenAI\u2019s GPT-4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Hassabis, Gemini\u00a0\u201cwas built from the ground up to be multimodal, which means it can generalize and seamlessly understand, operate across and combine different types of information including text, code, audio, image, and video.\u201d.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elon Musk, the founder of X and Tesla, has recently unveiled a generative AI chatbot called \u201cGrok\u201d. This latest development comes following the massive success of OpenAI\u2019s chatbot ChatGPT, a company that Musk himself co-founded. This AI was developed by xAI, a startup founded by Musk in March 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to xAI<\/a>, Grok has a few characteristics that separate it from its competitors. The company states on its website that\u00a0\u201cGrok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don\u2019t use it if you hate humor!\u201d<\/em>. Musk himself claimed on X (formerly called Twitter), that the AI is\u00a0\u201cbased and loves sarcasm\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advantage Of Grok<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An advantage Grok will have over other chatbots is its real-time access to X. This will allow it to learn from huge amounts of data without potentially violating copyright laws. The AI is powered by Grok-1, a large language model (LLM) developed by xAI this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want Grok to serve as a powerful research assistant for anyone, helping them to quickly access relevant information, process data, and come up with new ideas.\u201d<\/em>, the company stated regarding the purpose behind this chatbot.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American tech corporation Microsoft and German conglomerate Siemens AG have recently developed a generative AI tool for industrial automation designated \u201cSiemens Industrial Copilot\u201d. This is the latest innovation from the collaboration between the two companies that started earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Microsoft<\/a>, this AI-powered assistant is \u201caimed at improving human-machine collaboration in manufacturing\u201d. Both companies hope this will pave the way for the widespread adoption of generative AI across various industries.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re building on our longstanding collaboration with Siemens and bringing together AI advances across the Microsoft Cloud with Siemens\u2019 industrial domain expertise to empower both frontline and knowledge workers with new, AI-powered tools, starting with Siemens Industrial Copilot,\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>said Microsoft CEO and chairman Satya Nadella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new tool is designed to help with automation and can be implemented in several industries. It aims to reduce simulation time and boost productivity and efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the prospects of their new <\/a>AI, Siemens CEO Roland Busch said<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cThis has the potential to revolutionize the way companies design, develop, manufacture, and operate. Making human-machine collaboration more widely available allows engineers to accelerate code development, increase innovation, and tackle skilled labor shortages.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next generation of Large Language Models (LLM) can take input in any modality and generate content in any modality. According to NExT, a collaboration between the National University of Singapore and Tsinghua University focused on data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog post uploaded by the initiative<\/a>, researchers of the project claim that this new model of LLM will be able to <\/em><\/strong>\u201cperceive inputs and generate outputs in arbitrary combinations of text, images, videos, and audio\u201d<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy leveraging the existing well-trained highly-performing encoders and decoders, NExT-GPT is tuned with only a small amount of parameter (1%) of certain projection layers, which not only benefits low-cost training and also facilitates convenient expansion to more potential modalities.\u201d<\/em>, the blog states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The currently popular generative AI tools can produce results in response to one type of input, such as text, audio, video, etc.., at a time. However, the researchers at NExT are looking to make an AI tool capable of understanding universal modalities, which will enhance human-computer interactions and make them more natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NExT-GPT is not fully operational yet. But there are demos of its capabilities up on GitHub. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Pushing The Limits Of AI With NExT GPT: An Any-Any Multimodal Large Language Model","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"pushing-the-limits-of-ai-with-next-gpt-an-any-any-multimodal-large-language-model","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-11-05 22:57:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-05 11:57:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=14145","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":14030,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-10-29 23:29:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-10-29 12:29:55","post_content":"\n

American tech giant Microsoft has recently announced a historic deal between the company and the Australian government. Microsoft is reportedly investing AUD 5 billion to boost the country\u2019s computer industry and help it stake a claim in the current artificial intelligence boom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a press release<\/a> on the company\u2019s website, the deal will be fulfilled over the next two years. Among its many sub-goals, the company will create a Microsoft Data Center Academy and Microsoft-Australian Signals Directorate Cyber Shield (MACS) in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is our largest investment in Microsoft\u2019s 40-year history in Australia and a testament to our commitment to the country\u2019s growth and prosperity in the AI era.\u201d<\/em>, said Brad Smith, President and Vice Chairman of Microsoft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deal also puts special emphasis on cybersecurity as Australia prepares to protect its citizens from the increasing risk of cyberattacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

American tech corporation Microsoft and German conglomerate Siemens AG have recently developed a generative AI tool for industrial automation designated \u201cSiemens Industrial Copilot\u201d. This is the latest innovation from the collaboration between the two companies that started earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Microsoft<\/a>, this AI-powered assistant is \u201caimed at improving human-machine collaboration in manufacturing\u201d. Both companies hope this will pave the way for the widespread adoption of generative AI across various industries.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re building on our longstanding collaboration with Siemens and bringing together AI advances across the Microsoft Cloud with Siemens\u2019 industrial domain expertise to empower both frontline and knowledge workers with new, AI-powered tools, starting with Siemens Industrial Copilot,\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>said Microsoft CEO and chairman Satya Nadella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new tool is designed to help with automation and can be implemented in several industries. It aims to reduce simulation time and boost productivity and efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the prospects of their new <\/a>AI, Siemens CEO Roland Busch said<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cThis has the potential to revolutionize the way companies design, develop, manufacture, and operate. Making human-machine collaboration more widely available allows engineers to accelerate code development, increase innovation, and tackle skilled labor shortages.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schaeffler AG, an automotive manufacturer, is one of the first in the industry that has publicly adopted Siemens Industrial Copilot.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Introducing Siemens Industrial Copilot: A Generative AI-Powered Assistant Developed By Siemens AG And Microsoft","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"introducing-siemens-industrial-copilot-a-generative-ai-powered-assistant-developed-by-siemens-ag-and-microsoft","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-11-10 22:49:11","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-10 11:49:11","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=14224","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":14145,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-11-05 22:56:12","post_date_gmt":"2023-11-05 11:56:12","post_content":"\n

The next generation of Large Language Models (LLM) can take input in any modality and generate content in any modality. According to NExT, a collaboration between the National University of Singapore and Tsinghua University focused on data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog post uploaded by the initiative<\/a>, researchers of the project claim that this new model of LLM will be able to <\/em><\/strong>\u201cperceive inputs and generate outputs in arbitrary combinations of text, images, videos, and audio\u201d<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy leveraging the existing well-trained highly-performing encoders and decoders, NExT-GPT is tuned with only a small amount of parameter (1%) of certain projection layers, which not only benefits low-cost training and also facilitates convenient expansion to more potential modalities.\u201d<\/em>, the blog states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The currently popular generative AI tools can produce results in response to one type of input, such as text, audio, video, etc.., at a time. However, the researchers at NExT are looking to make an AI tool capable of understanding universal modalities, which will enhance human-computer interactions and make them more natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NExT-GPT is not fully operational yet. But there are demos of its capabilities up on GitHub. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Pushing The Limits Of AI With NExT GPT: An Any-Any Multimodal Large Language Model","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"pushing-the-limits-of-ai-with-next-gpt-an-any-any-multimodal-large-language-model","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-11-05 22:57:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-05 11:57:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=14145","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":14030,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-10-29 23:29:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-10-29 12:29:55","post_content":"\n

American tech giant Microsoft has recently announced a historic deal between the company and the Australian government. Microsoft is reportedly investing AUD 5 billion to boost the country\u2019s computer industry and help it stake a claim in the current artificial intelligence boom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a press release<\/a> on the company\u2019s website, the deal will be fulfilled over the next two years. Among its many sub-goals, the company will create a Microsoft Data Center Academy and Microsoft-Australian Signals Directorate Cyber Shield (MACS) in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is our largest investment in Microsoft\u2019s 40-year history in Australia and a testament to our commitment to the country\u2019s growth and prosperity in the AI era.\u201d<\/em>, said Brad Smith, President and Vice Chairman of Microsoft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deal also puts special emphasis on cybersecurity as Australia prepares to protect its citizens from the increasing risk of cyberattacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the impact of this investment on the country\u2019s economy, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had this to say - <\/em><\/strong>\u201cThis is a major investment in the skills and workers of the future, which will help Australia to strengthen our position as a world-leading economy.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elon Musk, the founder of X and Tesla, has recently unveiled a generative AI chatbot called \u201cGrok\u201d. This latest development comes following the massive success of OpenAI\u2019s chatbot ChatGPT, a company that Musk himself co-founded. This AI was developed by xAI, a startup founded by Musk in March 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to xAI<\/a>, Grok has a few characteristics that separate it from its competitors. The company states on its website that\u00a0\u201cGrok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don\u2019t use it if you hate humor!\u201d<\/em>. Musk himself claimed on X (formerly called Twitter), that the AI is\u00a0\u201cbased and loves sarcasm\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elon Musk, the founder of X and Tesla, has recently unveiled a generative AI chatbot called \u201cGrok\u201d. This latest development comes following the massive success of OpenAI\u2019s chatbot ChatGPT, a company that Musk himself co-founded. This AI was developed by xAI, a startup founded by Musk in March 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to xAI<\/a>, Grok has a few characteristics that separate it from its competitors. The company states on its website that\u00a0\u201cGrok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don\u2019t use it if you hate humor!\u201d<\/em>. Musk himself claimed on X (formerly called Twitter), that the AI is\u00a0\u201cbased and loves sarcasm\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new tool is designed to help with automation and can be implemented in several industries. It aims to reduce simulation time and boost productivity and efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the prospects of their new <\/a>AI, Siemens CEO Roland Busch said<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cThis has the potential to revolutionize the way companies design, develop, manufacture, and operate. Making human-machine collaboration more widely available allows engineers to accelerate code development, increase innovation, and tackle skilled labor shortages.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next generation of Large Language Models (LLM) can take input in any modality and generate content in any modality. According to NExT, a collaboration between the National University of Singapore and Tsinghua University focused on data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog post uploaded by the initiative<\/a>, researchers of the project claim that this new model of LLM will be able to <\/em><\/strong>\u201cperceive inputs and generate outputs in arbitrary combinations of text, images, videos, and audio\u201d<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy leveraging the existing well-trained highly-performing encoders and decoders, NExT-GPT is tuned with only a small amount of parameter (1%) of certain projection layers, which not only benefits low-cost training and also facilitates convenient expansion to more potential modalities.\u201d<\/em>, the blog states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The currently popular generative AI tools can produce results in response to one type of input, such as text, audio, video, etc.., at a time. However, the researchers at NExT are looking to make an AI tool capable of understanding universal modalities, which will enhance human-computer interactions and make them more natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NExT-GPT is not fully operational yet. But there are demos of its capabilities up on GitHub. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Pushing The Limits Of AI With NExT GPT: An Any-Any Multimodal Large Language Model","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"pushing-the-limits-of-ai-with-next-gpt-an-any-any-multimodal-large-language-model","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-11-05 22:57:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-05 11:57:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=14145","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":14030,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-10-29 23:29:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-10-29 12:29:55","post_content":"\n

American tech corporation Microsoft and German conglomerate Siemens AG have recently developed a generative AI tool for industrial automation designated \u201cSiemens Industrial Copilot\u201d. This is the latest innovation from the collaboration between the two companies that started earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Microsoft<\/a>, this AI-powered assistant is \u201caimed at improving human-machine collaboration in manufacturing\u201d. Both companies hope this will pave the way for the widespread adoption of generative AI across various industries.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re building on our longstanding collaboration with Siemens and bringing together AI advances across the Microsoft Cloud with Siemens\u2019 industrial domain expertise to empower both frontline and knowledge workers with new, AI-powered tools, starting with Siemens Industrial Copilot,\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>said Microsoft CEO and chairman Satya Nadella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new tool is designed to help with automation and can be implemented in several industries. It aims to reduce simulation time and boost productivity and efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the prospects of their new <\/a>AI, Siemens CEO Roland Busch said<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cThis has the potential to revolutionize the way companies design, develop, manufacture, and operate. Making human-machine collaboration more widely available allows engineers to accelerate code development, increase innovation, and tackle skilled labor shortages.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next generation of Large Language Models (LLM) can take input in any modality and generate content in any modality. According to NExT, a collaboration between the National University of Singapore and Tsinghua University focused on data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog post uploaded by the initiative<\/a>, researchers of the project claim that this new model of LLM will be able to <\/em><\/strong>\u201cperceive inputs and generate outputs in arbitrary combinations of text, images, videos, and audio\u201d<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy leveraging the existing well-trained highly-performing encoders and decoders, NExT-GPT is tuned with only a small amount of parameter (1%) of certain projection layers, which not only benefits low-cost training and also facilitates convenient expansion to more potential modalities.\u201d<\/em>, the blog states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The currently popular generative AI tools can produce results in response to one type of input, such as text, audio, video, etc.., at a time. However, the researchers at NExT are looking to make an AI tool capable of understanding universal modalities, which will enhance human-computer interactions and make them more natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NExT-GPT is not fully operational yet. But there are demos of its capabilities up on GitHub. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Pushing The Limits Of AI With NExT GPT: An Any-Any Multimodal Large Language Model","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"pushing-the-limits-of-ai-with-next-gpt-an-any-any-multimodal-large-language-model","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-11-05 22:57:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-05 11:57:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=14145","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":14030,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-10-29 23:29:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-10-29 12:29:55","post_content":"\n

American tech giant Microsoft has recently announced a historic deal between the company and the Australian government. Microsoft is reportedly investing AUD 5 billion to boost the country\u2019s computer industry and help it stake a claim in the current artificial intelligence boom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a press release<\/a> on the company\u2019s website, the deal will be fulfilled over the next two years. Among its many sub-goals, the company will create a Microsoft Data Center Academy and Microsoft-Australian Signals Directorate Cyber Shield (MACS) in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elon Musk, the founder of X and Tesla, has recently unveiled a generative AI chatbot called \u201cGrok\u201d. This latest development comes following the massive success of OpenAI\u2019s chatbot ChatGPT, a company that Musk himself co-founded. This AI was developed by xAI, a startup founded by Musk in March 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to xAI<\/a>, Grok has a few characteristics that separate it from its competitors. The company states on its website that\u00a0\u201cGrok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don\u2019t use it if you hate humor!\u201d<\/em>. Musk himself claimed on X (formerly called Twitter), that the AI is\u00a0\u201cbased and loves sarcasm\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next generation of Large Language Models (LLM) can take input in any modality and generate content in any modality. According to NExT, a collaboration between the National University of Singapore and Tsinghua University focused on data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog post uploaded by the initiative<\/a>, researchers of the project claim that this new model of LLM will be able to <\/em><\/strong>\u201cperceive inputs and generate outputs in arbitrary combinations of text, images, videos, and audio\u201d<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy leveraging the existing well-trained highly-performing encoders and decoders, NExT-GPT is tuned with only a small amount of parameter (1%) of certain projection layers, which not only benefits low-cost training and also facilitates convenient expansion to more potential modalities.\u201d<\/em>, the blog states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The currently popular generative AI tools can produce results in response to one type of input, such as text, audio, video, etc.., at a time. However, the researchers at NExT are looking to make an AI tool capable of understanding universal modalities, which will enhance human-computer interactions and make them more natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NExT-GPT is not fully operational yet.

Elon Musk, the founder of X and Tesla, has recently unveiled a generative AI chatbot called \u201cGrok\u201d. This latest development comes following the massive success of OpenAI\u2019s chatbot ChatGPT, a company that Musk himself co-founded. This AI was developed by xAI, a startup founded by Musk in March 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to xAI<\/a>, Grok has a few characteristics that separate it from its competitors. The company states on its website that\u00a0\u201cGrok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don\u2019t use it if you hate humor!\u201d<\/em>. Musk himself claimed on X (formerly called Twitter), that the AI is\u00a0\u201cbased and loves sarcasm\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next generation of Large Language Models (LLM) can take input in any modality and generate content in any modality. According to NExT, a collaboration between the National University of Singapore and Tsinghua University focused on data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog post uploaded by the initiative<\/a>, researchers of the project claim that this new model of LLM will be able to <\/em><\/strong>\u201cperceive inputs and generate outputs in arbitrary combinations of text, images, videos, and audio\u201d<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy leveraging the existing well-trained highly-performing encoders and decoders, NExT-GPT is tuned with only a small amount of parameter (1%) of certain projection layers, which not only benefits low-cost training and also facilitates convenient expansion to more potential modalities.\u201d<\/em>, the blog states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The currently popular generative AI tools can produce results in response to one type of input, such as text, audio, video, etc.., at a time. However, the researchers at NExT are looking to make an AI tool capable of understanding universal modalities, which will enhance human-computer interactions and make them more natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NExT-GPT is not fully operational yet.

The next generation of Large Language Models (LLM) can take input in any modality and generate content in any modality. According to NExT, a collaboration between the National University of Singapore and Tsinghua University focused on data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog post uploaded by the initiative<\/a>, researchers of the project claim that this new model of LLM will be able to <\/em><\/strong>\u201cperceive inputs and generate outputs in arbitrary combinations of text, images, videos, and audio\u201d<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy leveraging the existing well-trained highly-performing encoders and decoders, NExT-GPT is tuned with only a small amount of parameter (1%) of certain projection layers, which not only benefits low-cost training and also facilitates convenient expansion to more potential modalities.\u201d<\/em>, the blog states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The currently popular generative AI tools can produce results in response to one type of input, such as text, audio, video, etc.., at a time. However, the researchers at NExT are looking to make an AI tool capable of understanding universal modalities, which will enhance human-computer interactions and make them more natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NExT-GPT is not fully operational yet. But there are demos of its capabilities up on GitHub. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Pushing The Limits Of AI With NExT GPT: An Any-Any Multimodal Large Language Model","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"pushing-the-limits-of-ai-with-next-gpt-an-any-any-multimodal-large-language-model","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-11-05 22:57:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-05 11:57:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=14145","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":14030,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-10-29 23:29:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-10-29 12:29:55","post_content":"\n

American tech corporation Microsoft and German conglomerate Siemens AG have recently developed a generative AI tool for industrial automation designated \u201cSiemens Industrial Copilot\u201d. This is the latest innovation from the collaboration between the two companies that started earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Microsoft<\/a>, this AI-powered assistant is \u201caimed at improving human-machine collaboration in manufacturing\u201d. Both companies hope this will pave the way for the widespread adoption of generative AI across various industries.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re building on our longstanding collaboration with Siemens and bringing together AI advances across the Microsoft Cloud with Siemens\u2019 industrial domain expertise to empower both frontline and knowledge workers with new, AI-powered tools, starting with Siemens Industrial Copilot,\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>said Microsoft CEO and chairman Satya Nadella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new tool is designed to help with automation and can be implemented in several industries. It aims to reduce simulation time and boost productivity and efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the prospects of their new <\/a>AI, Siemens CEO Roland Busch said<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cThis has the potential to revolutionize the way companies design, develop, manufacture, and operate.

The next generation of Large Language Models (LLM) can take input in any modality and generate content in any modality. According to NExT, a collaboration between the National University of Singapore and Tsinghua University focused on data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog post uploaded by the initiative<\/a>, researchers of the project claim that this new model of LLM will be able to <\/em><\/strong>\u201cperceive inputs and generate outputs in arbitrary combinations of text, images, videos, and audio\u201d<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy leveraging the existing well-trained highly-performing encoders and decoders, NExT-GPT is tuned with only a small amount of parameter (1%) of certain projection layers, which not only benefits low-cost training and also facilitates convenient expansion to more potential modalities.\u201d<\/em>, the blog states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The currently popular generative AI tools can produce results in response to one type of input, such as text, audio, video, etc.., at a time. However, the researchers at NExT are looking to make an AI tool capable of understanding universal modalities, which will enhance human-computer interactions and make them more natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NExT-GPT is not fully operational yet. But there are demos of its capabilities up on GitHub. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Pushing The Limits Of AI With NExT GPT: An Any-Any Multimodal Large Language Model","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"pushing-the-limits-of-ai-with-next-gpt-an-any-any-multimodal-large-language-model","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-11-05 22:57:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-05 11:57:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=14145","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":14030,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-10-29 23:29:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-10-29 12:29:55","post_content":"\n

The next generation of Large Language Models (LLM) can take input in any modality and generate content in any modality. According to NExT, a collaboration between the National University of Singapore and Tsinghua University focused on data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog post uploaded by the initiative<\/a>, researchers of the project claim that this new model of LLM will be able to <\/em><\/strong>\u201cperceive inputs and generate outputs in arbitrary combinations of text, images, videos, and audio\u201d<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy leveraging the existing well-trained highly-performing encoders and decoders, NExT-GPT is tuned with only a small amount of parameter (1%) of certain projection layers, which not only benefits low-cost training and also facilitates convenient expansion to more potential modalities.\u201d<\/em>, the blog states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The currently popular generative AI tools can produce results in response to one type of input, such as text, audio, video, etc.., at a time. However, the researchers at NExT are looking to make an AI tool capable of understanding universal modalities, which will enhance human-computer interactions and make them more natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next generation of Large Language Models (LLM) can take input in any modality and generate content in any modality. According to NExT, a collaboration between the National University of Singapore and Tsinghua University focused on data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog post uploaded by the initiative<\/a>, researchers of the project claim that this new model of LLM will be able to <\/em><\/strong>\u201cperceive inputs and generate outputs in arbitrary combinations of text, images, videos, and audio\u201d<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy leveraging the existing well-trained highly-performing encoders and decoders, NExT-GPT is tuned with only a small amount of parameter (1%) of certain projection layers, which not only benefits low-cost training and also facilitates convenient expansion to more potential modalities.\u201d<\/em>, the blog states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The currently popular generative AI tools can produce results in response to one type of input, such as text, audio, video, etc.., at a time. However, the researchers at NExT are looking to make an AI tool capable of understanding universal modalities, which will enhance human-computer interactions and make them more natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next generation of Large Language Models (LLM) can take input in any modality and generate content in any modality. According to NExT, a collaboration between the National University of Singapore and Tsinghua University focused on data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog post uploaded by the initiative<\/a>, researchers of the project claim that this new model of LLM will be able to <\/em><\/strong>\u201cperceive inputs and generate outputs in arbitrary combinations of text, images, videos, and audio\u201d<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy leveraging the existing well-trained highly-performing encoders and decoders, NExT-GPT is tuned with only a small amount of parameter (1%) of certain projection layers, which not only benefits low-cost training and also facilitates convenient expansion to more potential modalities.\u201d<\/em>, the blog states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The currently popular generative AI tools can produce results in response to one type of input, such as text, audio, video, etc.., at a time. However, the researchers at NExT are looking to make an AI tool capable of understanding universal modalities, which will enhance human-computer interactions and make them more natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next generation of Large Language Models (LLM) can take input in any modality and generate content in any modality. According to NExT, a collaboration between the National University of Singapore and Tsinghua University focused on data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog post uploaded by the initiative<\/a>, researchers of the project claim that this new model of LLM will be able to <\/em><\/strong>\u201cperceive inputs and generate outputs in arbitrary combinations of text, images, videos, and audio\u201d<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy leveraging the existing well-trained highly-performing encoders and decoders, NExT-GPT is tuned with only a small amount of parameter (1%) of certain projection layers, which not only benefits low-cost training and also facilitates convenient expansion to more potential modalities.\u201d<\/em>, the blog states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The currently popular generative AI tools can produce results in response to one type of input, such as text, audio, video, etc.., at a time. However, the researchers at NExT are looking to make an AI tool capable of understanding universal modalities, which will enhance human-computer interactions and make them more natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next generation of Large Language Models (LLM) can take input in any modality and generate content in any modality. According to NExT, a collaboration between the National University of Singapore and Tsinghua University focused on data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog post uploaded by the initiative<\/a>, researchers of the project claim that this new model of LLM will be able to <\/em><\/strong>\u201cperceive inputs and generate outputs in arbitrary combinations of text, images, videos, and audio\u201d<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy leveraging the existing well-trained highly-performing encoders and decoders, NExT-GPT is tuned with only a small amount of parameter (1%) of certain projection layers, which not only benefits low-cost training and also facilitates convenient expansion to more potential modalities.\u201d<\/em>, the blog states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The currently popular generative AI tools can produce results in response to one type of input, such as text, audio, video, etc.., at a time. However, the researchers at NExT are looking to make an AI tool capable of understanding universal modalities, which will enhance human-computer interactions and make them more natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NExT-GPT is not fully operational yet. But there are demos of its capabilities up on GitHub. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Pushing The Limits Of AI With NExT GPT: An Any-Any Multimodal Large Language Model","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"pushing-the-limits-of-ai-with-next-gpt-an-any-any-multimodal-large-language-model","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-11-05 22:57:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-05 11:57:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=14145","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":14030,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-10-29 23:29:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-10-29 12:29:55","post_content":"\n
